MICRODRAMA: PLANNING

LADS ON TOUR.

Lads on tour will be the title for our micro drama as we've decided to base our micro drama on a group of male (lads) to go for a break (tour) to a rented out holiday home, however the genre of our micro drama will be horror as there's a twist to this story where all the lads will be killed off 1 by 1 by the supposedly owner of the holiday home.

We've decided on having 7 characters as there's 7 of us in the group with 6 being the lads on tour leaving 1 to be the killer.

At first we planned on only have 5 lads and 1 killer leaving someone to film. However we needed everyone to play a character so to overcome the filming problem the killer would film the scenes where all the 6 lads will be filmed then in the scene with the killer and the victims the lads that aren't involved in the scene will film this way everyone in the group plays their part in the creation of this micro drama.

We've planned to go with the stereotypical plot of a slasher film where the person that survives at the end is the innocent,nerdy cautious character, and the killer kills off his victims with knifes.

In the oppening sequence we plan to use narritive enigma with the characters by revealing them 1 by 1 , and with the killer using narritive enigma all the way through the micro drama till the last scene where he's revealed.

Binary Opposition.

Throughout the micro drama we'll have binary opposition between the characters from some being loud and rebelious compared to the quiet sensible character that survives at the end. Also the binary opposition with the killer being taller than the other characters.

We'll also include some signifiers for example the clothing that the killer will be dressed in to give the symbolic meaning of his weirdness or in this case he's a farmer who owns the place, and the dark cellar to symbolise the darkness that'll happen there.
